A big fraud.

A girl is not pretty enough for mass  although her voice is.

Gymnasts - Too young to be competing

Opening Ceremony - packaged by special effects.

Lets not do Olympics in China going forward - Its just disgusting.

 

 

red China is rising !!!!!!
  wow !!!! what a opening ceremony!

For all those Free tibet supporters,

 

I would rather be in a country ruled by maoist like prachanda and baburam than in a country ruled by " Bhatta of Pashupati nath". Dalai lama is a religious figure like Pashupati ko bhatta or Archbishop of England.  I just pity those folk who wants to be ruled by them.

 

Dusman, you goddam hypocrite, weren't you a subject of the Nepali King, who was considered a God?  And your folks prayed to this very king, ain't it damn rumor-monger??  WTF?  Atleast the Dalai lama is NOT a god.  He's just a religious guy who has his ministers rule the Government in Exile.  He'd be akin to the Queen of England who may be the head of the state, but the ministers do all the day-to-day running of the government.  And before I forget, Welcome outta your ignorance, foolio!!

 

special effects or what not but that was the best opening ceremony of all times.

Hey Hey samsara, 

Hold on a sec.

I dont represent "My folks" or  as you said "your folks"  and yes I dont claim to be the one with IQ of 150.  And I hope you would refrain from calling names and instead attack my point of views. As you have already labeled me as an ignorant fellow , why dont you come up with some logical reason to convince me .Why should I support a theocracy in Tibet while I am against it in the rest of the world ?

 

And yes I think it was an amazing opening show . Totally agree with Java and true.

boundaries are all man-made.

 

Opening was amazing but the thing about pretty voice and ugly face is disgusting.

U sure about those boundaries made by man and not by spreading ocean floors?? might wanna use another figure representation like this??

china govt is crazy contol freaks....

I didn't watch the opening ceremony and will not be watching the olympics in the protest to the chinese government . I heard it was a good event but if u remember the no of monks and nuns the chinese has killed in tibet i dont think anyone should support chinese power over tibet.............

to every one why don't u watch 7 years in tibet.. Brad Pitt very good movie and u ll think about Tibet and Dalai Lama again..

I don't know why it is a big deal for some people about Chinese using special effects in the opening ceremony. If they want to use some help from the computer to enhance the visuals for TV audience, I think it is perfectly okay.  After all, it's once in a life-time opportunity for China, and they would have done anything that they could. I think it's innovative -- nobody had thought they could use CGI on the live performance ever. I give credit to those Chinese TV crew, they did one helluva great job synchronizing those CGI effects on the live performance. For the most part, the CGI effects they used were pretty legitimate. For example: They used one to show the high angle shot of the stadium while the fireworks were in progress, which was virtually impossible to capture live. The fireworks were real, and 2008 people doing Tai-Chi, people playing drums etc were all real and they were enough for me to go "Holy F!!!".

Same with that Chinese girl lip-syncing -- she must be replaced by someone prettier if she is not eye candy, and people like watching eye candies on their television set.

About those underage gymnasts, and they still kicked ass? another "Holy F!!!".

I don't give a f*** about what China is and what China does. It's not even about China. China is just hosting it. Just like those website hosting companies. Those hosts might throw in some cheezy commercials, or might f*** up their customers, but at the end, it's all about websites, not the f***in' hosts. Beijing Olympics is not about China, it's about spirit -- a true spirit of those amateur athletes gathering under the same roof competing with each other. Celebrate the spirit.

WTF man, China ain't hosting another Olympics for at least another 12 years anyway. Don't make it political.

(F*** Sajha censorship, this is another America, this is worst than China!)

Dude...ask an Iraqi...he may have a similar opinion about hosting the games in Chicago too....

The people and media who lied in the UN General Assembly about Iraq's possession of WMD and killed millions of innocent Iraqis are talking about lipsync and computer generated special effect.
